I am excited to share my Spellbinders Bunny Hop project with you today. I created this little baby shower ensemble using the featured die templates: Spellbinders S5-045 Banner Basics Two and S4-261 Play Time. Other Spellbinders die templates on my projects include S4-324 Ribbon Banners and S4-092 Stars Five. Of course no baby project would be complete without beautiful paper from My Mind's Eye, The Girl's Loft, Basic Grey and WorldWin Papers.

{K-Design Tips}

Peg, a visitor to my blog, emailed me recently and expressed how much she enjoyed a design tip I had written about in a previous post. That email prompted me to start a regular feature on this blog called: K-Design Tips where I will share methods, shortcuts and general tips that I use on my projects. Today I will repost a tip that I shared on a previous project called Letterpress or Reverse Stenciling using Spellbinders die templates. I used this technique on both the Ribbon Banner shape and the Banner Basics Two shape.

One of the fun techniques that can be achieved with Spellbinders die templates is called the Letterpress or Reverse Stenciling technique. Start off by appling ink directly to the die template. Carefully flip over the die template onto your cardstock and secure with a strip of tape. Cut/emboss the tag. Once you remove your shape from the die template you will have a beautiful shape with perfectly inked 'letterpressed' edges.

Stunning work done here,and thanks soooo much for the reverse inking tip, that is really cool too.I just love Spellbinder dies and this makes it even more,amd now my never ending wishlist just grew.............again LOL.

KazanOh my. I have seen these dies pictured before and often wondered what you would do with them. This is a fantastic project. They look great. Thanks for the K-Design tip I am waiting fot the weekend to get some time to have a go. Thanks for the inspiration.

There are so many things I like about this set, I don't know where to start. The first thing that struck me was the wonderful color combination. The shading & Letterpress effects contribute greatly, too. Nice job!

Thank you so much for the great ideas, you are very inspiring. The tips are always appreciated, going to try the reverse letterpress later today. Would love to win these dies, we have a new baby in our family and I can already see a great card!
